Wind Energy Potential Estimation in Pirgulu Region

Abstract

Beside other innate resources Pirgulu has rich wind energy potential. Renewable energy application in the surrounding villages next to Pigulu preserve is possible after having estimated the local potential, due to the existing methods the ensurating of wind energy parameters and proceeding of these data have been realized. Average annual amount of windy, windless and total wind energy potential were determined in the region. Also the quantity of windy days possessing more than 15 m/sec wind speed in the territory. Finally wind energy potential map was established in electron version using arc-view program.
